Breathing life back into a sleeping Tiger

[Easy Tiger]

Hi guys, been away for the last three years and my '01 Tiger has been put to bed in my garage. I will be dusting her off and riding this summer. Any tips or advice for awakening my girl from her beauty sleep.

Cheers

Is the battery in good condition? otherwise i'd put new oil, fresh petrol in.

Hi, just do the usual. Drain and renew as much of the old petrol as possible, same with the coolant. As you are taking tank off renew the spark plugs or clean them so you get the best possible spark. While they are out, change oil and filter ( prime new filter ! ) . Then turn ignition on and use starter proceure to get the new oil thru the engine to cams/brgs etc. Do this a few times. Refit plugs etc and all else back on and you should be a good un for more touring on your new bike ...................cheers TITAN  :lol:
p.s . forgot to say DO NOT start bike with old oil etc in it, or petrol , down to experience mate!!!make sure battery is charged to full .
